One of the crafts I do is scrapbooking. When I moved to Indiana 3 years ago, I had to leave most of the things behind for this craft so what I have now can fit in a cardboard box.
I really needed a place to put my things, but the space I had available wouldn't hold the 12 x 12 sheets of paper without curling them, so it was time to reorganize.
A few weeks ago I had told you about an estate sale we went to. I had picked up and table that I put in the living room to put my printer on. I had the printer on this plastic storage unit and with the purchase of the new table I moved the drawers into my sewing room.
Even though the drawers weren't wide enough, this eventually solved my scrapbook storage dilemma.
I emptied out all of the office/computer related things from the drawers and put them in my computer desk. This freed up this unit to house my serger thread.
I was then able to put my scrapbooking supplies into the unit with the wide drawers where my thread had been. It also gave me another empty drawer so I can unpack more boxes soon.
I organized my stickers and my paper scraps in large folders to make them easier to find.
My photos, tickets and other memorabilia are stored in a smaller drawer in another unit.
The day I chose to do this reorganization was hot and humid. I was making sure to drink plenty of water while I worked. Unfortunately, my water glass sweat on my sewing table. It is plastic so I didn't have to worry about damage, but it did make things a bit wet. I decide that I really needed a coaster for my table. Rather than buying some, I decided to make one to match the room. Below is what I came up with and it worked perfectly. Need a coaster for your sewing room too? I have them available on my website, Colleen's Cottage Shop and I can make them in whatever colors you'd like.
